[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You've got it all wrong.  No one is spewing venom.  If you've only seen Bullis at the lower grades, you likely haven't experienced some of the problems others have described.  I'd suggest you go in eyes open too.  I say that in the interest of being good to you, parent-to-parent.  Be well.[/quote]

Correct.  There are MANY other schools with small class sizes (though the idea of being 'lost in public' is often something  privates tout to convince you - a K with 8 kids isn't exactly a social ideal either).  I agree with an earlier poster that I'm pretty mystified as to why anyone would voluntarily choose Bullis at this point.[/quote]

Thanks for the information.  So how many of you have/had kids in the upper school at Bullis and what are the things I should know about going in?  Forget about the head of school and football coach.  Specifically the teachers and students.

Also, no private convinced me that my kids would be lost in public.  I know my kids and their personalities.  My youngest does not like large crowds and both my kids are easily distracted and overwhelmed in large classroom situations.  Both were in Montessori schools and the youngest we had to pull as it was overwhelming for her.

What privates would you suggest that are within a 20 minute drive from Potomac that are not religious based?  My kids are very happy in the lower school, but should we need to make a change in the future, what do you all suggest?[/quote]
